@graphius What system are you running? Is it i386 or amd64? My system is amd64 running natty and as you can see by my comments the printer DCP-7040 does not work. As I stated it is more that a printer rather it is a printer, scanner, copier. I have some plain brother printers which work. Just not this model. Further, Brother does not have a amd64 driver and due to the age of the device it appears that they have no intention of creating 64 bit drivers. I have looked on their site and there are few if any 64 bit drivers for any of their products. I tried Lucid, Maveric and Natty and none work. Since I have 3 complete systems the problem appears to be Ubuntu related. Further, I installed openSUSE and have the same problem. The basic printer handling is the same as in Ubuntu. dpkg: error processing /home/bill/Downloads/brdcp7040lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) Does this not seem to make things clear? If you have a solution I would like to here of it.
